Elaborate Towers Emerge fromBasic Building Blocks in Raffaele Salvoldi’s Architectonic InstallationsIn January 2021 in the middle of Italy's second Covid-19 lockdown, photographer and director Raffaele Salvoldi's work took a different turn. “That was a tough time since I wasn't working and had a lot of free time. So, I started to build small forms to keep my hands and mind busy.” he tells Colossal, sharing that he tapped into the nostalgic, childhood activity of tinkering and stacking simplewood blocks.2021年1月，在意大利第二次新冠疫情封锁期间，摄影师兼导演拉斐尔·萨尔沃尔迪的工作也为之改变。“那段时间很难熬，我没有工作，非常空闲。为了让我的手脑保持状态，我开始制作一些小东西。”就这样，他开始谈论那段像孩子一样摆弄木条、搭建积木的时光。At the base of Salvoldi's towering, temporary installations is a single component: KAPLA planks. Devised by a Dutch antique dealer in the late 1960s, KAPLA are an alternative to chunkier blocks that make it easier to build long or horizontal features like lintels and roofs. Initially, Salvoldi started with a set of 1,000 of the wooden construction bricks, and as he amassed thousands more, his constructions became increasingly voluminous. Spiraling columns, delicate towers, and airy apertures emerge gradually from a foundation on the floor, and the structures are often illuminated from inside and reveal dramatic effects in cavernous spaces. Each piece responds to its environment, drawing the eye upward to unique settings like the historic, neoclassical Casa Bossi. “The only limit is your imagination and, of course, gravity.” he says.萨尔沃尔迪的高塔作品仅仅使用一种原件：卡普乐片状积木[1]。卡普乐片状积木是20世纪60年代末由一位荷兰古董商设计的。作为长条砌块的替代品，这类木条更容易构建讲求延续性和水平结构的部件，如过梁和屋顶。起初，萨尔沃尔迪的创作材料只是一套1000块的片状积木，随后累加到数千块之多，他的建筑作品也变得越来越宏伟。螺旋高柱与精致塔楼平地而起，次第升空。光线透过积木之间的缝隙，由内而外勾勒出寻幽探密般的梦幻体验。每一片积木都与环境相得益彰，吸引着人们的目光向上攀援，去探索又一座带有历史气息的新古典主义之作“博西之家（CasaBossi）”。“作品唯一的边界是想象力，当然还受到重力的限制。”他说。
One of Salvoldi's installations can take between three weeks and four months to complete, and rather than opening a show with a completed work, viewers are invited to observe as he adds piece after piece over time. “I believe it isn't just a performance, rather a kind of a window on an artistic process.” he says. “That's why I like to define it as a living, mobile room or atelier that people can visit and see the installation growing day after day, week after week.” When a show closes and the work must be disassembled, visitors are invited to deconstruct the installation by throwing additional planks at it untilit crumbles, or the artist will devise a domino-like path of KAPLA that strikes at the foundations.萨尔沃尔迪可能需要三周到四个月的时间创作一件装置作品。观众们受邀观看作品的整个创作过程——随着时间推移，“建筑”从无到有，日渐丰满，而非直接看到其最终的完成状态。“这不仅仅是一场表演，更是了解艺术的窗口。因此，我更倾向于把它定义成一间客厅、移动屋或工作室，人们可以参观，目睹作品日复一日、周复一周地生长。”在展览结束、拆卸作品的时候，游客可以向它投掷木条，直到作品完全倒塌拆解；或者由萨尔沃尔迪设计一种多米诺骨牌般的拆除法，让作品轰然倾落。In May 2022, Salvoldi founded the project Wood Arc through which he continues his research into architectural and structural forms. Between February 12 and April 2, he will exhibit a new work at the 16th-century Villa Bono, just north ofNovara, Italy. Find videos and more of his work on Instagram, and learn more about the project on his website.2022年5月，萨尔沃尔迪创立了Wood Arc项目，继续研究建筑和结构。2月12日至4月2日，他将在意大利诺瓦拉以北的16世纪波诺别墅（Villa Bono）展出一件新作品。可在Instagram上找到他的视频和更多作品，也可从他的网站了解更多项目相关信息。[1] 卡普乐片状积木即KAPLA，源于“Kabouter Plankjes”，荷兰文指“小精灵的木片”，故又称“精灵木片”
